Using Visual Studio Code

9. Commenting out code blocks

Another useful trick is the ability to comment out a block of code. You might do this if you are experimenting and want to remove code from your program without actually deleting it.

To comment / uncomment a code block:

  • Highlight the code to comment or  uncomment
  • Press Ctrl - / (Control and forward slash)

Most IDE's colour commented code green as an extra visual cue.

VS Code can do this for any language it has hinting enabled for.
